Since 3.3 I've noticed that ED will occassionally spawn an extra ship with the same pilot name as my Mark. The Mark is usually an FDL, Corvette or Anaconda, but the duplicate is always in a small ship just floating around nearby. It is always wanted so I pop it for a few credits, but have wondered what's up with it. At first I thought it was a Wingman for my Mark that ED gave the same name, but they never attack me. Just sit around.
Assassination Target Duplicates?

This isn't a new thing.
Sometimes you'll get a "pair" of targets spawning in Corvettes etc too.
One of the "cheatiest" things that happens is that you'll see your mission target (you scan it and it's the right name and it's got the "mission target" tag) SCing around in, say, a Cobra, interdict it and when you drop out of SC your target has swapped ships into a Corvette and brought their twin along too.
All working as intended, I'm sure. [where is it]

Sounds worth a bug report. Probably noone ever told fdev. Never seen it myself <shrug>
